Here one finds ever:ening necessary in the business, and all in one plant. There are two iarge flocks of hens which form .the foundation of the business. Then one passes into the egg room where the eggs are care- fully weighed and placed on trays before being placed in the incubators These incubators have recently been equipped with electricity which is thermostatically controlled, there- by insuring an even heat at all tines. In another room there are hun- dreds of baby chicks ready for ship- ment. Still further along we find a workshop in which the containers for shipping are made. Then there is the feed mixing room. Here the Jervis concentrates are nixed, and made ready. for shipping. Thus we find a busy little industry working away quietly and efficiently. Now that the baby chick season is here it is quite an education to see how this business is handled.

COLTS IN MIDDLE OF CHATHAM SERIES AFTER 0=4— KNOCKING OFF ELORA ROCKS Defeat Elora 11 To 6 ' On The Round Clinton Colts advanced another step along the long, hard trail that leads to the Int. "B" championship, this week when they eliminated Elora Rocks in home and home games by a score of 11 to 6. The Colts won both games,the first one in Elora by a score of 3-2, and on Monday night here, by a score of 8-4. By defeating Durham, Elora stamp- ed themselves as a hard outfit, and the Colts went into the series knowing full' well they would be tough to take, and as a result theyy put up their best effort of the year, and they were just too much for the Rocks to handle. Superior team play by the Colts told (Continued on page 4) IJ. and S.

Germination Tests In another column in this paper will be found an advertisement by the Department of Agriculture cal- ling attention to the danger of far - niers using seed without having ger- mination tests made 'of it. A careful perusal of this advertisement may be of very great value to nnany of our farmers. We know that most far- mers are particular about sowing good' seed free from weed seeds and with a high germination test but sometimes these matters are left off until it is too near sowing time to have these tests properly made, and so this advertisement will just call Win Opening Game In Chat- ham To Tune Of 6-2 PLAY HERE' TOMORROW NIGHT The Colts have certainly been: flying high this week. After tucking Elora Rocks away on Monday night,. they were immediately booked to. meet Chatham in their next round,: and the Colts exceeded our fondest. expectations when the drubbed the, Chathamites 6 to 2. The return game is to be played here tomorrow night and Clinton will enjoy a four -goal margin at the start of the game. The Colts have lost only one game, all year, and that was the second. game they played against New Ham- burg. Altogether they have won 9 games'in eleven played, lost one, and. tied one. The loss and tie both came at the start of the season,before the boys really got going and both came from New Hamburg. Since then they have knocked off all opposition with. little trouble and at present appear to be sitting pretty for tomorrow night's game. Last night's game was broadcast from station on CFC0 in Chatham, and all ears in Clinton were glued to the loud speakers for the play-by-play description. , The Colts got away to a rather shaky start, but no doubt this was due to the long road trip and it took time to get limbered up. Harold Gibbs was missing from the line-up and Doug. Kennedy was moved up from defence to take his place on right wing. "Riley" Johnston filled in for him on defence. Chatham ,had the better of the ar- gument in the first part of the first period. .After 4 minutes of play Harding walked in to beat Stade for the first counter. Stade saved bril- liantly on several close in shots. With the period hall+ gone Don. Mc- Kay knotted the count on a nice solo effort, banging his own rebound past Tremaine. Asthe period neared the end Pugh put Chatham one up, but Clinton was coming strong and only the good work of Tremaine and some poor shooting by Clinton, kept them off the score sheet. The period od end- ed 2-1. No penalties were given. From the second period on Clinton showed their superior strength and ran in five goals while Chatham were unable to beat Stade. After some fine saves by Tremaine, Kel. Streets fin- ally all knotted the count at the 15 min- ute mark and only the Chatham goa- lie kept the Colts from taking a lead. Kennedy and McKay -served time for: Clinton, and Stover for Chatham. The third period saw the Colts• showing their class when they shoved' home four goals. Shortly after the start of the period Kel. Streets snip- ed his second goal on a nicely man- euvered play with . "Red" Rath and Ken. Pickett. Rath faked a pass to. Pickett, then fed it to Streets who, streaked in for the tie-breaker. Lett - of Chatham was penalized, and Clin- ton took advantage of the break. Frank Me wan came into his own at this juncture when he picked the cor- ner of the net twice in less than two minutes. The first came while Lett was off and the second a minute lat- er with both teams at full strength, R. McEwan gave -him the pass for.the second one. Clinton was having a decided edge in the play and Tire - mine was having a hot time, saving his team. The Colts scored one from a pile-up in front of the Chatham net but the referee disallowed it. - In the closing ;minutes "Bonnie" Foster snared the puck from a Chatham player in front of their net and pul- led Tremaine out for the final court ter: The final score was 6-2., All the locals played brilliantly: (Continued on page 4) their attention to the necessity' of having this work done in good time before seeding begins. Another For Ripley Something new in engine trouble: happened' to J. N. Stephenson of Sea- neville, Quer, the other day. The mo- tor coughed and the car kicked and jumped, indicating that one or more cylinders was not working. Probably a cracked spark plug and a short cir- cuit. So, to the garage. The atten- dant opened the hood—and :laughed. "Here's a new one," said. Ise. "I've known cows, pigs, and even moose to stop a car,, but this is the first time I ever heard of its being done by a rat." Sure enough, the long-tailed rodent had crawled on top of the en gine to get warm and made a short circuit across two spark plugs which, in the 1936 Oldsmobile, are set in the top of the engine. The garage main said it was worth admission and amusement tax. Chatham Plays Here To -morrow Night Hockey fans will want to see the game to -morrow night. The season. , is fast drawing to a close with only some half dozen teams left in the running. : The winner of this series. will' likely play the winner of the; Acton-Simcoe, series. With uncertain. weather conditions, games in the lo- cal arena are rather uncertain, and fansshould avail themselves of the opportunity o f, seeing ' tomorrow night's gate at all costs. • Chatham are in a desperate position and will no doubt 'throw caution to the wind in an effort to overcome the four goal ' deficit, and although the Colts. beat them, they are by no means a weak ' team and the game tomorrow night will be fast and exciting, as both teams have plenty of speed. Chatham have a coloured boy play- ing for them, and he is reported ton be about the best man thew' have.
